Whickham increasingly not in bloom

I was out and about today collecting signatures for a petition against Gateshead Councils mean minded cut backs to flower beds and displays in Whickham. Many residents were telling me that this was the wrong thing to cut in the councils budget. A lot of signatures have been collected and we can only hope they help persuade the Labour run council to see the error of its ways.

I met a lot of ex Labour voters and people who have stopped voting today who are deciding that they will be backing the Liberal Democrats next time round.
